- We are looking for a job queuing system that would manage many UNIX
- boxes (actually we have 5 RS/6000 running AIX) used for intensive
- scientific calculations (mainly fortran programs). We would like that
- the users submit their programs to a unique job queue, specifying some
- requirements about their jobs (memory needs, estimated time, special
- libraries...) and the queuing system would automatically dispatch the
- jobs to the most available station on the network that meets the
- requirement.
-
- I heard about "NQS": can this program be configured to meet our
- requirements? Is there other queuing systems available? (Public domain
- or commercial). Anybody want to comment on their experiment with such
- installations?
-
- Thanks!
